Personalised guidance for holistic development
We believe in a hands-on approach when it comes to guidance, and it is for this reason that we meet our Supernovas at least once every week for short catch-ups and for longer heart to heart conversations once in every two months. This enables us to know what is happening in their life and how it is affecting them; and advise them to engage with their life in a more wholesome manner. The activities that we take up to fulfill this requirement are:
- Short weekly catch-ups
- Longer deeper conversation, in-person preferably
- Guidance on developing skills, interests, community service intent
- Getting more involved with activities at school
- Training to take up internship roles
- Constant encouragement and motivation to inculcate life skills and demonstrate them suitably at relevant occasions through actionable techniques for time management, stress management, peer pressure management, public speaking, social skills and the like
- Interaction with the parents to keep us informed of the eco-system within which our Supernova lives
Career-path exploration
We believe that worldly success is acquired by those who are passionate, innovative, and continuously learning. The first 20 years of a Supernova’s life determine the quality of the next 80 years. We therefore, encourage our Supernovas to indulge in and interact with different activities and locate for themselves the fountainhead of all passion and performance. Our methodology is more to motivate the youngster to take relevant steps in the direction of a probable career path after an in-depth psychological evaluation and not a simple test. The activities that we take up to fulfill this requirement are:
- Enrollment into relevant professional courses offered by acclaimed universities and recognised institutions
- Regularly revisiting the plan to develop a smooth trajectory towards a career; and changing course whenever required
- Supporting the Supernova to pick up professional internships to learn the skills of the real world in an actual environment
- Selecting the precise academic course with relevant subjects to accomplish the desired professional success
Counseling and emotional support
Teenage is a difficult time in everyone’s life, and it requires a support of a patient listening ear and an open heart. We strive to become the ‘buddy’ in the life of our Supernovas so as to support their learning, growth and living. We firmly believe that a young gun needs a thriving and a vibrant eco-system for becoming the best version of themselves. The activities that we take up to fulfill this requirement are:
- Counseling on personal matters
- Watching out and working for the best interests of our Supernovas even when their parents, nearest family members and dearest friends are involved
Parenting support for teenagers
The success of a child depends upon good parenting, but being a parent is the most difficult role in the world. Keeping in mind the ideology, ‘children are born through the parents and not born of the parents’, we provide our parents support in managing their relationship with teenage offspring.
- Exclusive meetings with parents to understand their role, involvement, and situation in the process of their child’s growth and development
- Advice and guidance regarding managing their own stress and trials in being a parent to an ambitious youngster
- Understanding their viewpoint in a difficult situation and incorporating that in decision-making for the child
- Continuously working to ward off and/or alleviate any and every breakdown of communication between the parent and the child
